I have just seen when I can only explain as a worrying error made by ITV.
There has just been a story where "Cyclists need to take more care on the roads". It prioritised large vehicles and showed a video. The video was from the Alley Cat race in London from about 5 years ago.
The news reporter said "This cyclist must have been in a hurry and was taking unbelievable risks". The cyclist was then knocked down when he tried to squeeze between a bus and 4x4. Here:

They then had a representative from Manchester Police talk about blind spots and showed a cyclist on the phone with no hands on the bars, a cyclist jump a red light, and another cyclist "weaving dangerously through traffic".
The attitude that ITV had towards cyclists was discraceful. I am dreading going out on my bike now as a lot of people around here will probably have seen the programme.
